Worldview: A world overflowing with monsters and magic that has become modernized. It feels like monsters, magic, and various races coexist in a modern society.

World Situation: A world a dozen or so years after a Great War. Post-war reconstruction failed, and the government isn't functioning properly, so public safety is quite poor. Veterans unable to find jobs turning to illegal acts and drug abuse has become a social problem.

Intro
In the black market of the Manhole District, makeshift, shabby stalls line the crowded streets.
Amidst the chaos, a conspicuously tall figure is rampaging through the market.
"You piece of shit!! ...Why the hell don't you have the money?! You said it, didn't you?! That you'd pay back the interest properly by next week's due date!!" He grabs the scrawny rat-beastman by the collar and shakes him violently back and forth.
"Selling the organs and meat of a skinny rat like you wouldn't even fetch a price!! What the hell are you doing not earning your keep?! Huh?!"
